Whenever Black Friday or Cyber Monday knocks on our doors, we can expect Amazon's hardware lineup to drop to its all-time low so that everyone can get a taste of what the retail giant has been working on in terms of hardware.

"I find Cyber Monday to be more convenient than Black Friday", said Jeissy Casilla, 23, a retail worker in Puerto Rico, adding that it allowed her to browse multiple stores and offers at the same time and avoid big store lines. Specifically, Target's taking a ton of its stuff and slicing 15 percent off the top of a bunch of toys, electronics and even clothes. Amazon is running a massive Cyber Monday 2018 sale on all the AmazonBasics accessories you can think of.

Shop at Target for 15% off: Target is offering 15% off hundreds of thousands of items on its website.

In many cases, these deals are only for today, so if you see something you like you may want to jump on it before its too late.

Cyber Monday online shopping frenzy kicked off with retailers offering a slew of discounts and free shipping, testing the limits of their e-commerce operations as they take millions of orders across the country.

Target was offering 30 percent off on select toys, while Kohl's discounted Lego sets between 30 percent and 40 percent.

Experts warn against buying older or discontinued smart-home device models because they may lack customer support and security updates.

Social media conversation tracker Brandwatch said out of 13,000 social media mentions of Cyber Monday (#Cybermonday) the Apple Watch and the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game were two products that were highly discussed.
